Hehe..........Dr Cairo Ojougboh, former National deputy chairman of People’s
Democratic Party, under the factional leadership of Sen. Ali Modu
Sheriff, decamped to the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Agbor, Delta
State along with executives and supporters of PDP.
Dr. Ojougboh and other defectors from across the state
dumped their party cards and emblems in the waste bin at his home in
Agbor, Ika South Local Government Area of Delta state, at a well
attended ceremony witnessed by the Minister of Petroleum, Dr. Ibe
Kachikwu and leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the South
South zone and the state.
In his speech, the former national vice-chairman,
South-South of the PDP, said they had been patient with their former
party to learn from the bitter lessons that cost the party the
presidency, but like the leopard and its unchanging spots, the acts
impunity that have continued after the Supreme Court judgment that
ousted the Senator Sheriff leadership is a clear testimony that the PDP
will not change.
Ojougboh further disclosed that the misappropriation of the
over N20 billion Paris club funds in Delta by the Okowa administration,
nepotism and other corrupt practices, made him and others to renounce
the party.
Speaking during the occasion, Dr. Kachikwu conveyed the
goodwill of President Muhammadu Buhari, who he said was very
enthusiastic to hear that Ojougboh was quitting his party the PDP and
expressed excitement for his renouncement of the PDP.
The petroleum minister also affirmed that he was no less enthused
about the development, describing Ojougboh as a name synonymous with
Nigerian politics and the move by Ojougboh and his group as a
progressive one.
